Life Transitions Therapists in M6C

"People come to counselling/psychotherapy for many reasons. Sometimes they are struggling with distressing emotions that get in the way of their productivity, daily functioning and peace of mind.

"In my 10 years of social work practice I have helped people move through periods of change in their lives. I have learned that all life transitions, be they joyful or deeply painful, come with varying degrees of emotions. Some of us are able to work through these emotions on our own, while others need a helping hand. My role is to guide you, by working together, to find the tools to cope with and overcome life’s challenges. I believe that seeking help is a recognition of your strengths and self-awareness. Whether you are overwhelmed as a new mom, grieving a loss, or feeling anxious about your job, you shouldn't have to do it alone. "

"Maybe people think your life seems great but on the inside you don’t feel that way. You often feel disconnected like you’re running on autopilot. It can be hard to reach out for help when you’ve always been taught to handle your own problems. When did things get this bad? Other people don’t understand, they think you are fine and expect you to be. You want to feel like you are living not just surviving...Something needs to change but you don’t know where to start. It’s okay not to have all of the answers."
